Market Find: 2018 Lamborghini Ad Personam Verde Draco Metallic Huracan Performante

Will·
Lamborghini's Ad Personam Verde Draco Metallic was most famously used on Lamborghini's Murcelago press car that was thrashed on Top Gear, and second most famously on VinWiki founder and Cannonballer Ed Bolian's resprayed high-mile LP640. But even with that relatively high level of notoriety and our opinion that it's absolutely stunning, take rate on the vibrant albeit muted green is exceedingly low.

Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey RS 5

Will·
The B8.5 generation of RS 5 was a pretty rowdy car, with it's incredibly high-revving V8 and subtle box flares, wrapped in a package that is aging incredibly well. Not many left the factory with Audi exclusive paint, so this particular example finished in Nimbus Grey is not only cool, it's also quite rare. Your guess is as good as ours as to why it's at a Nissan dealer, but we feel this may be a great case of a Dealer not really knowing what they've got. If you're interested, act fast.

Market Find: 2005 Porsche Paint to Sample Linen Grey Metallic 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

Will·
We'll never tire of 997 and older generation Paint (and Leather) to Sample Porsche models as this was a time before social media notoriety, when you either found out about the Paint to Sample program through a forum, or through your well-informed Dealer. In other words, if you had about $4,000, some level of patience and a vision, there was a good shot your newly ordered Porsche would be a one-off.

Market Find: 2016 Audi exclusive Nardo Grey A7

Will·
The nuance of what is truly special or not can be tiresome to most, but our guess is that if you were in that camp, you wouldn't be here. It's through that lens, that we feature this Tailored Driver. Nardo Grey was offered on the Audi A7 as a standard color on the Competition variants, of which this is not and it predates by two years.

Market Find: 2023 BMW Individual Fire Orange III M4 Competition

Will·
BMW's Fire Orange made quite the impact when it was applied to the North American market-specific M3 Lime Rock Edition and RoW-only M3 GTS during the E9X generation, as it was just as in-your-face as the four-liter V8 shoved between it's front fenders. In the time since, Fire Orange has had a few iterations (now on its third) and take rate seems to be somewhat slim.

Market Find: 2022 Porsche Paint to Sample Slate Grey 718 Spyder

Will·
At this point, I think it's legally required to mention that Porsche's Paint to Sample Slate Grey was Steve McQueen's favorite color any time the hue is seen or spoken about. Cliché, sure, but also for good reason- the so-called King of Cool reigned during one of the more fondly-remembered eras in pop culture history, and of all the wild pastels, he put his money on Grey.

Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic S7 sportback

Will·
First offered on the Audi RS 3, Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic is a modernized take on the incredibly popular Nardo Grey, with a hint of cyan added for good measure. It's the kind of subtle Grey we're sort of surprised wasn't offered by Audi in the US as a series option on more models, but thankfully we've seen that numerous Tailors have rectified this issue via posts on many different social media platforms.

Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 911 GT3

Will·
At the offices of Tailored Driver, we love to put ourselves in the shoes of our Market Find's original Tailors and try to imagine how conversations went while curating and submitting each order. With this Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 991-generation GT3, we'd assume that a 997-generation GT3 owner walked into the Porsche dealer in Plano, TX after being told that the then-new 2018 model would be available with three pedals for what was assumed to be the last time.
